OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
ON Thursday and Friday , in the House of Lords , short sittings were the order of the day , and the business will not interest our readers . Indeed , during the whole week the sittings have been remarkably quiet , and the only matter which has attracted notice has been the Anglo-Turkish treaty , respecting which Earl Granville questioned
the Government both on Monday and Tuesday , the Duke of Eichmond and Gordon ' s answer being warmly greeted by the House . In the Commons there was plenty of business got through . The Epping Forest Bill received a third reading by a large
majority , and a motion of Sir John Lubbock's on the Education Code being defeated after a full discussion by 68 to 37 , the House rose at a few minutes before two o ' clock . At Friday afternoon's sitting the House resumed the Committee on the Highways Bill , and made considerable
progress . When the House met again at nine o ' clock , Mr . Jenkins moved an address to Her Majesty praying for a Royal Commission of Inquiry as to the teaching and practice of the Anglican Church , his object being to put a stop to Ritualistic practices . In the end the honourable gentleman obtained the sanction of the House for the
withdrawal of the resolution . As a matter of course , Monday evening was not permitted to pass without the Government being questioned by the Marquis of Hartington respecting the Anglo-Turkish Treaty , and the answer given by Mr . Cross in the absence of the Chan .
cellor of the Exchequer elicited frequent and hearty cheers from both sides of the House . A long discussion followed on the question that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Contagious Diseases ( Animals ) Bill , and ultimately it did so , progress being immediately
reported . The Bishoprics Bill having been read a second time and the other orders disposed of , the House adjourned . On Tuesday , further progress was made in Committee with the Highways Bill , after which a resolution submitted by Mr . Errington on the Irish Land Act 1870 , was discussed
at some length , and then rejected by 134 to 67 , or a majority of two to one . Wednesday afternoon was almost entirely taken up with the discussion of a motion for the second reading of the Real Estate Intestacy Bill . Messrs . Potter ,
Leatham , Baxter , Leeman and others were in its favour , Messrs . Gregory , Beresford Hope , Wheelhouse , the Solicitor-General , & c . & c , spoke against it , and the result was the rejection of the measure by 193 votes to 157 votes . The House was shortly afterwards adjourned .
The Court is now at Windsor , where Her Majesty receives a constant succession of visitors . On Thursday lasb , Prince Leopold arrived at the Castle , and among those who dined with Her Majesty were Prince Frederick Charles and Princess Louise Margaret of Germany , the Duke of
Connaught , and the Chancellor of the Exchequer . On Friday last , the Grand Dnke and Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of Hesse ( Princess Alice of Great Britain ) arrived at Buckingham Palace from Flushing , having been received
at Queens borough by Colonel Du Plat . They were visited at the Palace by the Prince and Princess of Wales , and then left for Eastbourne with their children . On Saturday , the Queen paid a short visit to London , and saw the Duchess uf Cambridge at Sfc . Jamea ' a Palace , The Lord ,
